- The GORE-TEX Product Testers Tempting the Water Gods: GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ - 'The Promise' Episode 1: Waterproof. Or: The Wizards of Water.
Waterproof and windproof as well as breathable -- the GORE-TEX membrane is unique in its functionality and is quite simply GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™. This has been a promise for more than two decades! But how do you prove such a strong slogan? Exactly, let others, and especially their actions, speak louder than words! In the first of the three video episodes of 'The Promise', the GORE-TEX product testers will put this promise to the test -- while having a really great time.

I appreciate the effort, but the execution is cringeworthy. Also, you devalue your results from the firehose when you dont immediately show the jacket being removed. Whats the point of doing a "clinical test" if you just cut away and say "Yep, it worked, trust us".
Yeah... the collar of the green tshirt also went magically dry.
Yes, test is complete shit. But we already know Gore-tex works for years :) It's used everywhere by everyone ... so this is more like entertainment.
@@MrVolodusIt seems like this video was made for children... The worst part was after a few minutes of these shenanigans, I realized this was created by GORE-Tex.
Just incase someone from the firm reads this... Anyone watching a GTX video on RUclips is a geek, we want to see scientists or engineers do tests, give a presentation; impress us like a professor would at a university.
Hey Goretexnews, want to know something that's even more dry than Gore-Tex? Your jokes.
I dont know what everyones talking about when they say that their gore tex jacket is not working. You have either not taken care of it, product defect, or you have been scammed. My fathers gore tex jacket is 22 years old and it still works to this day. Not sure what people are on about...
Ummm the water may have been at 150 psi when it was in the hose but the instant it left the nozzle it was below atmospheric pressure. (Bernoulli’s principle) they lost a lot of credibility by not using correct terminology. But I still like my Gore Tex jacket!
appreciate your positive feedback. Thank you!

Hello Mr. Vanchu. Thanks for your question. To better answer this question can you let us know details of this lab experiment or which commercial this is exactly? Thank you.
don't know why but my salomon goretex boots get moist they are new and if i walk trought wet grass my socks get wet,same on melting snow shame on goretex!
one of the best membranes... maybe the best - in the Pro version
Lovetobeach247, would love you to explain how you make these pores all the same size, and 700 times bigger than "a" vapor molecule. A volley ball is more or less only 30 times a marble, certainly not 700 times.If you imagine the volleyball made from water (like a raindrop...) and than you rub and than you push it on the fence, it breaks in smaller parts, not being a drop (ball) anymore. You still rub it through the fence as you easily break up the drop in smaller drops. Maybe we should not rub the Goretex-fabric when it is raining.because than the water will go inside the fabric and get stuck in the pores? And when stuck in the pores, it likely will not breathe anymore?
I spent a weeks wages in 1992 to buy a berghous jacket made from gore-tex, 25 years later it just sits in the closet because after 10 years it leaked like a sieve. Marketing is great when products match expectations, sadly my jacket fell well short of advertising promises. Do your homework before handing over a huge amount of cash.

The yellow + grey jacket? It's from Berghaus
A water molecule is much larger than a vapor molecule. You could compare a water molecule to a volleyball trying to get through a chain link fence. You can compare your body vapor to a marble trying to get through the fence.The fabric that is used in GORE-TEX products has over 9 billion pores per square inch. The pores are 700 times larger than a vapor molecule allow it to escape. The membrane is also 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, which means water droplets can’t pass through.
love2beach247 bizarre material alien like sci-fi shit
Yes, in theory does sound very nice. BUT! BUT! BUT! in reality that would work, maybe, if you would have some space between your body and the goretex garment. Which, in most cases, and in areas we most sweat (underarms, on the back or on the belly) the garment is in close contact with the skin. So the vapours do not pass through the fabric, but get to be droplets of sweat and you get to be...yes, WET!
Hello! I saw one comercial of Columbia jacket that its omini dry is better that Gore tex for air breathablity and lightweight base on the lab experiment .
. I am confused now. which one is better than?
I bought a Berghaus extreme Gortex, the water just came straight through!
Close the zipper might work
What brand is Walter's old jacket?
I won’t purchase a jacket .... or boots unless it has a gore Tex liner . This is the standard and it’s awesome . Also danner does it best 😉
Thanks for your feedback. Happy to hear that you are a GORE-TEX fan ;-)
I'd like to see 2 gallons cradled on the back of the jacket, and see if any drips through
it really is a 20 year old jacket. An (nowadays) old man has used it on various expeditions already. GORE-TEX® products are not only built to last, they're easy to take care of too. Routine care and maintenance will ensure the highest performance from them and extend their useful lifespan.
Could you ellaborate on "routine care and maintenance", please?
Some say that a goretex garment does not need reproofing. But you still need special detergent. Spending like 200euros on a jacket and then another about 3euros everytime you wash it (without reproofing!) does not seem such a "easy way to take care of".
that's a nice jacket aint it. The best gore tex jackets i've seen are made for snowboarding.
theyre loaded with features and have more urban styling.
eVent FTW!!!!!
"old and well cared for" over 20 years with frequent use, you'd have probably spent enough on reproofers to have bought a new jacket.
So Gore-Tex is showing up on some of Merrell's new running shoes now. Running shoes that are barefoot and market themselves as thoroughly breathable with plenty of airflow for your feet thanks to their mesh whatever...
That shoe claims to be both breathable enough to feel the air on your feet when you run and 100% waterproof up to the collar. How is water 100% not allowed in but it retains this airflow claim?
When you perspirate the molecules are smaller than water molecules which are larger thus they cannot enter but sweat can leave.
The hosing down part has already been done by this guy and he gets it much harder. He even goes through a car wash. Check the video Gore-tex vs event
Gore-Tex when it first came out was awesome stuff. It still is but the truth of the matter is there are now better less expensive alternatives on the market today. GoreTex just has the market cornered because its been around so long and everyone knows the name.
names of the others? and how is goretex made? link to a manufacturing video or animation?
@ismartxx that X is H and it comes from HAGLOFS, a bit expensive but absolutely Top quality
Hi Chesiremol,
The GORE-TEX® Products are all completely waterproof. That's what the GORE-TEX® brand promises - GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY®. For further information have a look at our website.
Best regards
Your GORE-TEX® Team
Yes but in the early days the promise was BREATHEABILITY...
WTF is anyone supposed to get out of this.
Do yall make the GORE-TEX in the waterproof Marine Corps combat boots that we wear?
If it is Gore-Tex, then yes. Much military clothing, such as Rothco watch-caps ("beanies") for example, use genuine Gore-Tex (in this case, the membrane is layered between wool).

I want the gore-tex fish task now. Talk about rip off. :-(
gordon, ted, gor te gore tex
i doubt this is waterproof, but its best water resistance for sure. if there is hole it will soak in matter of time its submerged in water. wish there is submerge test for gore-tex for how long it can submerge in water until it get soaked because i do not want to buy this "waterproof" boots for works need to stay in water for long time and blame its soaked. its too fancy to be true.
Hi Xiaowei, every original GORE-TEX product comes with our Guaranteed to Keep You Dry promise because we can guarantee its waterproofness. The GORE-TEX membrane, which is incorporated into the fabric of our products, has pores that are ca. 20,000x smaller than a drop of water, which is why no water can pass through, even after standing in a lake for several hours for example. Additionally, its pores are 700x bigger than a water vapor molecule, which makes our products highly breathable as well. Check out our website for more information: bit.ly/2PKfTNJ Best regards, Linda from #GORETEX
@@GORETEXBrand yeah yeah
So i dont know why gore tex is not on the waders fishing market
Give me a break
Water resistant yes
Waterproof not
@@Aznag1980 Our brand partner Simms Fishing manufactures and distributes GORE-TEX waterproof waders. Check them out here: bit.ly/3nxP78q 👈
@@GORETEXBrand ok
Tell me.
I have a North Face goretex Xcr but is lacking of YKK zippers.
But its vintage and i am sure is legit
The goretex nembrane its that white rubber feeling material inside and sticked to the fabric correct.
It got standard squares design like a grill right ?
@@Aznag1980 You'll find details on how our technologies work and are integrated into our brand partners' design on our website: bit.ly/3d94akp
Lmao! Fire hose nozzle was not open at 150 psi. Sorry ex coast guard. That looked like garden hose almost. I like concept. But gortex was developed for NASA communication lines. Used on NASA space suits.
HELLY TECH лучше !!!! ))
How can they lie so blatantly to people? No care on Gore's part. They know their product is a failure. Can't understand why people keep believing and buying their junk product. Amazing the lack of concern by a company for the lies they create and the misery they know they will inflict.

I will never buy Teflon or gore tex read up about the scandals surrounding Dupont.
i`m out
Goretex has inferior breathability compared to some other membranes like event. But goretex still controls the market.
Sadly you are 100% right...
Goretex is supposed to have *zero* breathability to keep the heat inside, keep the moisture outside (your sweat) and prevent water from outside coming in. Dry and warm = Gore Tex. Dry and Cool = raincoats.
Wait...I think you are saying its designed to NOT breathe? Surely I misunderstand...that would make it a $20 slicker from Walmart. I must have had a long day and am misunderstanding your comment...as you are paying for breathability...and paying dearly.
G Henrickson There is nothing besides gore tex that keep moisture out and warm air in. Think of gore tex skiing pants, you want the sweat to evaporate while you ski but still keep warm in the freezing winter. So it's the opposite of wool.
If you can find such a thing for $20 from Walmart, tell me please :)
But it's reliable-and better than most products... And Gore Tex pro is very breathable !
Don't waste your money on goretex. Its not very effective against rain and is certianly not breathable. A plastic raincoat with a breathable layer (mesh shirt, fleece, or wool) is far more effective.
was is an goretex so toll? is nur gummi...
I used to like Gore-tex until I called you guys a few days ago. All I wanted was to buy some yardage to make something for myself and you couldn't make that happen? Lame. Kinda wish I got more Pertex/Neoshell stuff over the years.
purchase links to their competitors?
Didnt show his t shirt after the hose test. Will have leaked at the seams
They show part of the shirt around 3:31 and explain that the test was indeed successful. 😉 The "secret" to avoid leaking at the seams is that they are taped over. You can find details on our more scientific testing procedures right here: bit.ly/2Ssosgd 👈
